Sad to see Darvin and Harris go, but it had to happen eventually. Darvin isn't the receiver he once was, but he was still a hell of blocker and great guy to have on the team. Made some big plays when it counted in the 2019 and 2021 playoffs. Nice finish for him in blue and gold catching the game winning TD in the cup. Harris clearly struggled with injuries last year but looked great when on the field. Too bad they couldn't work out a deal but had to move on to younger guys at some point. He no longer had to be the focal point of the O with Collaros around. For a few years he carried the team, but the team improved enough that he didn't have to carry them anymore. Wish him good luck in TO and glad he's not playing in the West.

How is a signing bonus taxed at a lower rate? Is that a US thing?

Ya didn't say it was a great plan. Haha

Didn't they sign Dennis again? I assume that's who they are going with at LT

Darvin replied that the he's not in the Bomber's plans

Could be plan to roll with rookies but seems risky. Management could think that Woli is ready to take the next step and be a feature guy too.

Is that Bob announcing Darvin is back or encouraging him to come back?

I think it happened on the last play, might have even been during the celebration on the INT.

A team (especially this team) could win with an offence designed for Strev's strengths. The Riders win with CF for godsake.

Totally agree. One of the Hallett bros could be a decent safety, but BA is what makes the D elite.

Thanks for sharing. This must be incredibly stressful for you and your family. Don't have health problems myself, but have two kids under 5 (one born during the pandemic) and ya that 2 years have been tough. The kids are doing great, they don't know any different but my wife and I are going crazy with stress trying to manage covid risk and having to think about it for every little thing we do.

I get these thoughts but everyone isn't eligible for the vaccine yet. Kids under 5 namely. How many of those teachers have kids under 5, or kids with compromised immune systems, or elderly parents they take care of. We are going to have to learn to live with the virus, but basically nothing has been done to make schools safer (improved ventilation, etc.). The govt just put all eggs in the vaccine basket and didn't do anything else.

Same sentiments here. Loooooooooooong time lurker with the occasional post going back to the ourbombers days. Great to have a place to read/discuss the minutia of every single bomber related!

https://globalnews.ca/pages/audio-vault-cjob/ Post game show started just after 9PM in the audio vault for those that want one last Bob listen.

3downnation will have one up soon I'm sure. Expect a long list with all the 1 year contracts.

Matt Nichols post shoulder injury. Matt could hit the deep ball once upon a time.

No kidding. Would he want to start over from scratch again? I'm not O'Shea is the type wants to be a GM/HC but what do I know? He seems to like being right in there with the players and GM is one more level removed from that. GM is a totally different skill set.

Kyrie had a hell of game. Jake Thomas too. Sergio was what we all hoped he would be when he signed and we needed everyone of those points. Harris ground out the tough hards, the ticat D didn't give him much today. How many big plays did Darvin make in 2019 and 2021 playoffs?

Just soaking it all in. Almost hard to believe after so many disappointments over the years. I'm 36. They had won 2 cups when I was a little kid, but I don't remember anything about that other than watching them on VHS. 2001 I was in high school and thought the good times my dad spoke of were back. Not quite. 2007 I'd just graduate university and was going to the Cup as a grad gift with my dad. Never been more gutted by a loss than that. 2011 didn't think they even had a chance to win and was pretty numb to it. 2019 playoff run to now has been nothing but greatness with this team. Zach has what, 1 loss since he started here? Agree we're going to be remembering these teams for a long time. Biggie, the Jeffs, Alexander, going to go down as all time greats.

Mods can we move the all the vax talk to the Covid thread and talk about football here? It's unfortunate Eli chose not to get vaxxed, and he'll have to live with the consequences of that choice. Let's move on here and talk about how the Jeffs are going to crush Evans.

Totally agree. That effort on the TD was something else. Seems to really be coming into his own.

Bluto, think he was talking about Duke and Rider fans here.

https://www.cfl.ca/2021/12/03/cfl-issues-decision-status-argos-qb-mcleod-bethel-thompson/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter Looks like they are let him (and the OTHER PLAYERS) play with conditions leading up to the game. What a **** up by MLSE Only difference to me is the who is making the decisions. If a player breaks protocol, then its all on them. If the team directs players to do something, the players likely think the team is onside with protocol. Colossal **** up all around though.

Since the team sent MBT to the Raps game and it wasn't a case of a player individually violating protocol the league should punish the team and not the player. Risk of covid is very low in this situation. MBT is vaxxed, Raps game requires vax. Probably more risk if a player goes to Costco. As long as he tests negative up to the game, should be no issue. To me it's different than a player skirting the rules, but we'll see what the league thinks. Really bad look overall if unvaxxed Masoli can play and MBT can't because his team wanted to promote the league.

It's true they have to travel together but only need to vaxxed for flights/trains. So if the whole team was travelling by bus already, and not inter-provincial, I guess they don't all need to be vaxxed. CFL should have made a consistent policy since the way it is could really only benefit the Ontario teams.
